Advanced Antioxidant – 30 – Veg/Cap
If you ve noticed how an apple turns brown when it s cut or how iron rusts when exposed to the elements, you ve seen the effects of oxidation. Oxidation causes similar damage to the cells of the body. Free-radicals are unstable molecules that trigger chain reactions that eat away at the cells of the body and damage the genetic material they contain. Countless free-radical chain reactions take place in the body each day. In addition, emotional stress, ultraviolet light, air pollution, and cigarette smoke also generate free-radicals that can put your health at risk. Fortunately, nature provides antioxidants- factors which have been shown to be helpful in minimizing the effects of free-radicals. The most important antioxidants include: Certain vitamins, carotenoids, L-glutathione, and L-cysteine Components found in plants, such as ginkgo biloba, bilberry, and green tea, as well as the minerals zinc and selenium While fruits and vegetables provide a ready source of natural antioxidants in the diet, additional supplementation may be desirable to help achieve optimal intake. Recent research suggests that the family of carotenoids including alpha-carotene, lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin has antioxidant and protective benefits greater than beta-carotene alone. Solgar s carotenoid formulas contain a blend of active nutrients and complementary precursors, beta-carotene or a carotenoid mix, which provide a wholesome alternative to the more commonly used synthetic beta-carotene. Solgar’s Advanced Antioxidant Formula Vegetable Capsules are free of yeast, wheat, soy and dairy products and are formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial flavors or colors.
